If you have sensitive teeth and want a brighter, whiter smile, then air polishing is for you. Your dental hygienist can quickly and effectively remove unwanted stains on the front and back of your teeth with very little discomfort.
How Does Air Polishing Work?
The procedure uses a jet of compressed air, water and fine particles to gently and completely remove staining caused by the everyday consumption of things like tea, coffee and tobacco.
Is Air Polishing Right For You?
Your hygienist will conduct a patient interview and document your assessment. This will include your medical history so as to identify any contraindications. Your wellbeing is our top priority. We will encourage you to tell us about your specific needs and goals so that we can aim to exceed your expectations.
